<p>It's for the best that the Spurs are overlooked this season. It's always been like this, and it makes it all the more sweeter when they win the title.</p>
<p>But that's the way it is. To be honest, Tim Duncan has been the front-runner for DPOY all season, and still I feel that some athletic young guy that can block a few shots and play decent defense will win (a la Serge Ibaka, Larry Sanders). Why? Because it's because Timmy D isn't exactly the most exciting guy in front of the cameras. Stern and the NBA always promote the guys that sell tickets.</p>
<p>Believe me, TP9 and the Spurs will get their due very soon.</p>

<p>People say Parker is boring,becuz he's not the type of guard to dunk on someone beat his chest after a play..Dude just goes out and play..When the names of the top point guards come up,his name is never mentioned in the top 5,he's always in the middle of the pack..Becuz he's not a pure point guard..The Spurs didnt appreciate him even after he helped lead them to a championship,they wanted a pure point gaurd like Jason Kidd and went after Kidd when he was a free agent with the Nets..But Pop accepted Parker for what he is and thats a dynamic scoring guard that makes winning plays...</p>
<p>I like him,becuz unlike alot of other point guards he doesnt hold to ball,when he's on the floor there is constant ball movement until a good shot is made.....</p>

<p>Going back to last season, Spurs have won 67 out of their last 82 games. That is getting close to Chicago Bulls good. </p>
<p>All the individual players don't get a lot of credit because none of them are currently super high scorers. Also the team is very deep. Not deep with household names. But deep with highly efficient quality starters. But a deep bench is much more helpful in the regular season than in the playoffs. Remember to beat the Clips and OKC in the playoffs you have to beat 40 minutes or more of CP3 and Durant. That's major firepower.</p>

<p>I think it's because the Spurs have the best record in basketball going on 3 years and have failed to produce in the playoffs the last two years. The media is fickle, and I think sleeping on the Spurs is now the norm. I don't think the fans doubt Tony Parker, but the media doesn't care about the Spurs.</p>

<p>Why do people sleep on him? Because people sleep on the Spurs as a whole. Their teams, players, and coach are generally not the talk of the sports world. So much emphasis and attention has gone to Brooklyn this year and then the season that the Knicks are having. A lot of attention has gone to DRose and he isnt even playing. Rondo has gotten a lot of press due to his injury and trade rumors. Not saying that these guys arent noteworthy, but it seems as if the Spurs generally get overlooked. There are just more juicy things to report this year...like the Lakers fiasco, the Clips having a franchise best season, etc, etc. I remember a few years ago when Parker was the subject of many trade rumors. The guy is basically carving out a HOF career for himself.</p>

<p>Dwight Howard is not a top player in the league this year.</p>
<p>He's 5th in blocks no reason why he's not 1st or 2nd.<br />
Under 50% shooting free throws is pathetic for a vetern player, 3 turnovers a game despit scoring just 16 ppg.</p>
<p>I can see why his scoring is down playing with Kobe but almost 3 less rebs a game in the West wow.<br />
Also he's averaging almost 4 fouls a game.</p>
<p>He takes the same amount of shots a game as Sege Ibaka but has twice as many turnovers no excuse for that.</p>
<p>Tony Parker is playing great so efficient he's definitely up there for the MVP race maybe 2nd or 3rd.</p>

<p>the unfortunate thing with Parker is that he will never get the complete recognition he deserves outside of his followers and fans with Tim Duncan still playing. he will always will have his followers cheering for him and there will be a few media people out there that would give him credit, but it would be far from what the other top players would get. just look at pippen. even today, there are still some people who dont give him his due credit because he played next to Michael. unless Duncan retires and Tony wins a couple of rings without some not so big named teamates, he might never be given the recognition he has earned.</p>
